Hello everyone, this is my first time in the forum here. I have been dealing with anxiety/panic attacks for about 4 years now. I thought i had it under control but lately it seems to have started back up. I'm not real big on counselors since i have had such bad luck in the past with trying to find any that deal with anxiety/panic attacks. Naturally like most people we always fear the worst. Lately I have been feeling light headed, weakness in the legs and get the short of breath. I have tried the techniques that i was giving but none seem to work.

I was also diagnosed with MS and neuropathy about the same time, so I have been dealing with that as well. Lately i have not been taking my meds according to what the doctors have told me, which i know is my fault, but i have a big problem mixing my meds. So i take my narco for my pain three times a day and my clonazepam once a day. I am also suppose to take gralese once a day as well to help with the pain but the pharmacist told me that taking all three around the same time will make me extremely drowsy and of course I have thought the worst and only take what i know will make me feel comfortable. I want to stop taking the Narco because now i think its causing issues but i know its really not. When i did try to stop taking it and prepared myself the day before, I woke up in so much pain the next morning that about three hours later i had to take one just to get through the day. So, lately everything seems to be getting worst and i would like to keep it under control.

I'm here for support and to help others as well with my experience. I know everyone is different but feel sometimes talking with others who know what your going through usually seems to help. I am new at this so not really sure what else to put but if anyone has any questions or advice it will be thankfully welcomed.

Jason

Hi Jason!
That sucks about the MS, i'm sure it is making your anxiety far worse!! I can't give you advice about meds, because i refuse to take any for depression and anxiety.. They always make me feel like a zombie. Maybe try some meditation, and focus on your breathe. It's actually one of the only ways to calm my thoughts from racing,
Maybe go back and talk to your doctor about the meds, They are qualified to bullshit you.. plus they know somewhat what they're talking about.
